DEDICATION J. Robert Troyer, Ph.D. Dr. J. Robert Troyer has been a great inspiration as a teacher and a friend to the Class of 1990. We met him on the first day of school when he helped to lay the foundation of our road to becoming great physicians. He is not only admired by his medical, graduate and dental students but by his colleagues, other academicians, and physicians in the Temple University Hospital community. Dr. Troyer was born in Princeton, Illinois and was raised mostly in Syracuse, New York. He studied as an undergraduate at Syracuse University where he, like many of us, was initially pre-med, but his interests shifted to Zoology. At Cornell University, he then pursued Histology and Embryology as his majors, with minors in Mammalogy and Comparative Anatomy and he received his Ph.D. in 1955. His doctoral thesis was entitled A Biochemical and Histological Study of Liver Glycogen in a Hibernating Bat.” He was influenced by his professors and admired their dedication to teaching which he has incorporated into his own methods of education. .
